    United Nations VIP Week2005 summary! Text and Photos

    Ok guys heres the United Nations VIP week 2005 round up. First is the list of what I spotted and took pictures of while at the airports. The four aircraft that are the coolest catches this year for me are the Ukraine IL-62, Togolaise 707, Zimbabwe 767 and the Kygystan TU-154. There are a fe stragglers out there that havent checked back into JFK yet so hopfully I can add those of they came in during the day.
    The runway configuration this year was just horrible with mainly using runways 13L/R and 22L. As you all know this is very stressful and time consuming when you have to keep going back and fourth. In 2004 the main runway used was 31L/R or runway 4R so this made it much easier last year. This one was the most time consuming and very stressful as it had a differnt set up...but it proved to be the most rewarding I think.
    Thanks to those of you who assisted with the flight updates when needed and others provided updates on SWF aircraft for me.
    Enjoy!

    I compile this list every year of the planes I took pictures of. I suggest you start with this and then check out the pix.
    I shot VIPs from JFK, EWR and SWF. However about 95 percent were shot at JFK. #1 is last years VIP summary for those that are interested. link #2 is the 2005 VIP summary.
